You like those old chestnuts. How's this... John 20:23 Jesus said we are to ask forgiveness for our sins. I sometimes wonder if His words count for anything anymore.

I understand. Then use the words of jesus and you wont go wrong. Sometimes it's not so easy to know the will of God. We can only do our best... Jesus understands our humanity and how fragile we are.

Absolutely yes. And I'd go a step farther and say that JESUS is our master, not Paul or James or Peter. IF there is ever a time when we are not sure what a writer is saying, or it's difficult to understand because of how they spoke back then and the time that has passed....I ALWAYS go by what...

How is it the integrity of the heart when one has to look away? This is too funny...

That's not what he's saying. You give likes to persons who don't agree with you. Maybe you should read the posts better? Maybe I'm saying the same thing they are but you so dislike the words: law, obedience, must, obey that you just can't get over it? Too bad. GOD DEMANDS OBEDIENCE. and WE...

The reason I like your two posts so much is because they explain very well God's will vs our will. I hear some say that it is Jesus IN THEM that keeps them from sinning. This is really wrong theology because it would mean that when they do sin...it's Jesus making them sin! It's nice to read...

Nice post KBC. Well said.

Sometimes D, it IS what we "feel". In our walk with God we don't really go by feelings but by what we know. If we feel abandoned by God at times, we can KNOW we aren't even though we Feel that we are. But we can use our feelings also. With our conscience for instance. If our conscience is...

bb I'm sure we've all had some experience with this. Some friends that are non-believers are ok to be with. We could even get a word in edge-wise every now and then and who knows what will grow... But sometimes they're so far off that they drag you down with them. So, yes, sometimes we do...

Do you hear Him? Please show me where Jesus said that the law is abolished.

You don't remember my post. I wasn't trying to teach you anything. I said... Those who claim to be under grace are the most unkind and judgemental persons on this board. Those who claim to adhere to the law are the nicest persons on this board and are never judgemental. I had asked you to pay...

LOL

It's really late here. But I do believe I've heard all the reasons. It could be because we need to have a choice. It could be because we appreciate good after we try the bad. What else? Will listen to it tomorrow and then will post. For now it's Bon Nuit...

There you go again mj. The one who believes in grace, is the one being judgemental. Remember, I told you to pay attention??? You're not doing it! I do agree with your last sentence: Jesus starts on the inside so it shows on the outside, man starts on teh outside but that cant change the inside...

Agreed but for one thing. We truly have free will when we obey God. We are free to love and be our true selves, we can enjoy the nature God meant for us to have. Those who serve satan are slaves. I also think I understand what you say about evil being the opposite of good. I can't think of it...

How do you know so much about me? Are we married or something??

Have you been paying attention to that post way back there? What did you just do? You, who are of grace...

SIN IS NO LONGER A FACTOR. God must be rejoicing right now...

Well ByGrace, I guess there's a fine red line which is difficult to define. @bbyrd009 says that grace is more difficult to keep than the law. Do you understand that? I happen to agree with him. God has not changed. He's the same God He ever was. Jesus died to atone for our sins. No more...

@aspen I'm sorry. I didn't explain myself properly. Evil MUST have a source. We don't know what it is. But it must come from somewhere. Everything else I said I meant. (I think!)
